The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
I make it a rule of mine: the more it looks like Queer
Street, the less I ask.’
’ A very good rule, too,’ said the lawyer.
‘But I have studied the place for myself,’ continued
Mr. Enfield.’ It seems scarcely a house. There is no other
door, and nobody goes in or out of that one but, once in a
great while, the gentleman of my adventure. There are
three windows looking on the court on the first floor;
none below; the windows are always shut but they’re
clean. And then there is a chimney which is generally
smoking; so somebody must live there. And yet it’s not so
sure; for the buildings are so packed together about that
court, that it’s hard to say where one ends and another
begins.’
The pair walked on again for a while in silence; and
then, ‘Enfield,’ said Mr. Utterson, ‘that’s a good rule of
yours.’
‘Yes, I think it is,’ returned Enfield.
‘But for all that,’ continued the lawyer, ‘there’s one
point I want to ask: I want to ask the name of that man
who walked over the child.’
‘Well,’ said Mr. Enfield, ‘I can’t see what harm it
would do. It was a man of the name of Hyde.’
